Hot backups of Linux servers with ActiveImage Protector Linux Edition

NetJapan's proprietary and native Linux snapshot driver (AIPSNAP) allows you to create scheduled hot backups of your live production Linux machines every 5 minutes as well as cold static backups.

ActiveImage Protect Linux Edition helps you to:

Avoid data lossMake regular hot incremental backups of your Linux system every 5 minutes for a better RPO (Recovery Point Objective) while also minimising data loss in case of a crash or failure. Additionally, with Smart Sector technology you also enjoy faster backup speeds as only changed data sectors are backed up.

Replicate data both onsite and offsite Save your company from common and uncommon disasters by automatically replicating your full and incremental backups to an unlimited number of onsite or offsite locations.

ActiveImage Protector Linux Edition can be installed on both physical and virtual Linux machines and is licenced per kernel.

Main features

Smart Sector backup of XFS file systems

Smart Sector backup is now available for XFS file systems (and other common Linux file systems). This means only changed sectors are included in the backup file, greatly improving your backup speed and performance.

Backup multiple disks into one disk imageBackup multiple disks into the same disk image and increase storage space savings when used in combination with our Inline Data Deduplication and Compression feature.

CPU

Pentium 4 or newer

Main memory (RAM)

1024MB RAM required (2048MB recommended)

Hard disk space

400MB or more of available hard disk space is required at setup

Notes:

In addition to the above, the following hard disk space is required to reserve working space in "/var/opt". Normally, it is automatically reserved when installing the product:

- 3% of the total volume size of the device, of which an entry is added to "/etc/fstab", is required as working space for snapshot (the working space is also used to back up using the Inline Data Deduplication Compression feature).

- 0.01% of the total volume size of the device, of which an entry is added to "/etc/fstab", is required as working space to create a bitmap for incremental backup.
